🚨 NEW: UN report details rape, gang rape and genital violence against Palestinian detainees by Israeli forces
The UN Secretary-General’s report submitted to the Security Council verifies 31 victims of sexual violence linked to Israeli forces in 2025 — against 14 men, seven women, nine children and one girl — across detention facilities in Gaza and the West Bank, according to Haaretz, which said it had reviewed the report.
Key Details:
🔸“Violations consisted of rape, including with objects, gang rape, attempted rape, physical violence to the genitals, instances of targeted shooting of the genitals, touching of breasts and genitals, strip and cavity searches conducted without apparent security justification, forced nudity and threats of rape,” the report said.
🔸 9 victims, most of them Gaza residents, were subjected to rape and gang rape — in some cases repeatedly. Men and boys were allegedly subjected to rape or attempted rape and violence to the genitals, “resulting in five male victims suffering severe rectal bleeding or swelling for multiple days or weeks and, in some cases, without receiving medical treatment.”
🔸 The report named the IDF, Israeli Prison Service and Border Police Counter Terrorism Unit as responsible. Facilities cited include Sde Teiman, Etzion, and prisons Megiddo, Ofer, Ramla, HaSharon, Shatta, Nafha and Damon.
🔸 The UN said its findings likely reflect only part of a broader pattern, citing Israel’s continued denial of access to detention facilities and explicit threats against detainees to coerce them not to report abuse.

The United States has been at war for roughly 93% of its existence. The question we need to ask is what would our society look like if that didn't continue we to be the case?
Bernie Sanders does NOT support equal rights for Palestinians. He says if one state happened, that would be the end of Israel. Why does he need a state? Bernie still believes in this supremacy. He opposed reparations for Black Americans but not for his ppl.
Many lawmakers say they were appalled by the agreement to slash the state's climate law. They need to show some commitment for the environment by insisting they pass PPRIA before heading home for the year next week.
BOMBSHELL CONFIRMED: The Supreme Court corruption scandal that was lingering from a year ago? We can now call it CONFIRMED today.
Chief Justice John Roberts' wife pocketed $10.3 million recruiting for law firms with cases before his court. He illegally labeled it "salary" instead of commission on disclosure forms.
Justice Clarence Thomas took $500,000+ luxury yacht trips, $133,000 real estate deals, and decades of private jet vacations from billionaire Harlan Crow—all hidden from the public.
Justice Neil Gorsuch sold a $1.8 million property to the CEO of Greenberg Traurig—a law firm with 22 cases before the Court—just nine days after his confirmation. He left the buyer's name BLANK on his disclosure forms.
Republicans: "The Supreme Court is impartial!"
The Supreme Court: a billionaire-funded cash register.
Three justices. Three scandals. Tens of millions in hidden money and favors.
This isn't a court. It's a corruption convention with robes.
Tell me again why we should trust these people with our rights?
These old mfs been trying to take over the Democratic Party for DECADES with absolutely nothing to show for it
They are just peddling bullshit to working class people while enriching themselves in the process
The U.S. left is full of careerist scumbags

🛑 Footage of the U.S. military bombing Ecuador’s Amazon last night. SouthCom alleges it was a counter-narcotics strike on a FARC guerrilla camp; I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this province also happens to have one of Ecuador’s largest oil reserves. This province is home to 5 indigenous communities who’ve been organizing and resisting against mining corporations for decades. Just last week, the fascist Noboa dictatorship illegally changed the mining laws to expand resource extraction —despite more than 60% of the nation voting against mining this past November— in what many elected officials are calling an “unconstitutional abue of power”. The FARC guerrilla are a *formerly* Marxist organization born in response to the fascist Colombian state that massacred over 20,000 people between 1948-1958 and as resistance to centuries of unequal land distribution, exploitative working conditions, and the imperialist Cold War. Since then, the FARC is alleged to have been infiltrated and corrupted by drug cartels and other bourgeois agents, no longer acting in the interests of the working class. You know who else has been infiltrated by drug cartels? Ecuador’s Presidential Palace. The shipping company owned by fascist dictator, Daniel Noboa, was found with almost 30 million euros of cocaine in its cargo. Despite the findings of this international investigation, the United States continues to refer to Daniel Noboa as their “Number One partner in combatting drug trafficking in Latin America”. The irony.
Germany allows the US to use the Ramstein airbase to launch attacks against Iran. Germany is, therefore, directly involved in an illegal war, killing people in Iran and putting its own population at risk. #NoToWar#ceasefire

The only way to stop the Iran war is to stop the corporations that profit off the war & keep the war machine running:
Lockheed Martin
Raytheon
Northrop Grumman
Boeing
General Dynamics
Trump just met with the CEOs of these death merchants in the White House.
Shut them all down!
